PetSafe® Easy Walk Dog Harness
Designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash.
To watch a product demo, click on the video camera at bottom left of product image.Designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. Harness is simple and easy to fit, and easy to use, too.
Unlike traditional collars, the Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area.
Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the opposition reflex. That's the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. The Easy Walk Harness redirects the pressure through the front leash attachment. And, the patent pending martingale closure tightens slightly across the chest and shoulder blades when your dog attempts to pull forward.
- Includes a quick snap buckle on both the shoulder and belly straps to make it easier to get the harness on and off your dog.
- The soft-but-strong nylon and four adjustment points provide maximum comfort and a reliable fit.
- The complementary color of the belly strap makes it easier to identify each strap, while keeping the overall look pleasantly color-coordinated. You can quickly see which strap goes over the shoulders, and which goes under the belly.

This company just hit "the trinity" of tech plays, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Tuesday.» Read More
Billionaire value investor Mario Gabelli told CNBC Thursday that he sees big opportunities in media stocks.
Highlighting Time Warner, News Corp, Viacom, and Discovery, he said in a "Squawk Box" interview, "Each of these stocks, because of the rising middle class around the world and the notion of having that mobility in their hand and want content, you'll see these stocks double over the next five years." (Disclosure: Gabelli has positions in all stocks mentioned.)
The widely believed notion in the market that Obamacare would be bad for insurance stocks has been the wrong call, said Barclays health-care analyst Joshua Raskin.
"I think the industry begins to thaw in terms of multiples. I think you're going to see appreciation in the broader group," Raskin said Thursday on CNBC's "Squawk Box."
He likes names such as UnitedHealth and Aetna. "They've got significant market share off the exchanges, and there's not much risk in terms of the their participation on the exchanges."
SodaStream tumbled 9.2 percent to $57.86 on Wednesday after falling short on sales expectations.
The manufacturer of home carbonation kits reported third-quarter revenue of $144.6 million, 28.5 percent higher than a year earlier. Revenue missed expectations of $145.2 million from analysts surveyed by Yahoo! Finance, though earnings of 90 cents beat expectations by 12 cents.
The Israel-based company said slower growth wasn't indicative of consumer demand but rather retailers' inventory management.
Fueled by its critically acclaimed "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black" series, Netflix has in effect become the fifth most-watched television network in the United States, BTIG media analyst Richard Greenfield told CNBC on Tuesday.
Each subscriber watches on average 93 minutes per day, Greenfield said, which makes Netflix "larger than any single cable network. If you looked at total minutes watched in a household … the only thing it has left in its sights is ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox."
The company said it plans to double investments in original programming next year, when "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black" will roll out their second seasons.
Do you like the heath care sector as an investment theme in 2013 and beyond?
Even if you're ambivalent about Obamacare or totally opposed to it, some version will become law in 2014. Love it or hate it, it has the potential to boost health insurance stocks in a big way going forward.
Even though the government is in shutdown mode as I write, on Oct. 1 the government-subsidized health insurance exchanges and state insurance exchanges were scheduled to come online.
After a scathing review of Samsung's Gear smartwatch by New York Times columnist David Pogue, CNBC's Jim Cramer said that the game is up for the Korean company's attempt at wearable technology and that's great news for Apple.
"This is one of those reviews ... compare Apple, what he had to say about the [iPhone] 5C—where he basically just said 'this is the Mona Lisa' ... I mean, this [Samsung smartwatch] is not even a paint-by-numbers."
(Related: Why an iWatch may not be as big as the iPhone)
"This is it. This thing, the curtain closed on this. The curtain closed on this device," Cramer said, although he acknowledged that wearable technology is still a growing trend.
(Related: Look out Samsung! Is this the next big smartwatch?)
In Pogue's review, he described Samsung's smartwatch as " a human-interface train wreck" and that "nobody will buy this watch, and nobody should." Pogue explains that the device underdelivers because of an incompatibility with non-Samsung phones and that it has a "hodgepodge" of seemingly random features.
Although Samsung's smartwatch seems underwhelming, one company in particular that has the potential to make waves in the wearable tech market is Under Armour, Cramer predicted. He expects that the company will have "a wearable that's killer" in the form of a shirt that tracks biometric data, along with other accessories.
Don't expect to see a negative David Pogue article on wearable tech from Under Armour, Cramer said. On Samsung, "This was one of those reviews, where it's like, 'holy cow.' "
"Don't you feel that shift in favor of Apple?" Cramer asked. "It's changed. I think that Samsung suddenly becomes what we used to think of Samsung, and Apple has become what we used to think of Apple."
Value investor pioneer Bill Miller—with a hot hand after buying Netflix and Best Buy last year—is now talking up Apple and Microsoft.
In an interview Tuesday on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Miller made a case for why he thinks Apple shares are trading at ridiculously low levels of about $476 each as of Monday's closing price. "It just makes no sense for Apple to trade where it is: Seven times enterprise value to free cash flow."
He also said, "Microsoft has been a terrible stock for a decade. It started out stupidly overpriced and now it's stupidly underpriced." In the past 10 years, Microsoft stock has gained 18 percent. But year-to-date, it's up 25 percent.
Uncertainty in Washington has created a situation where it is simply "not prudent" to buy most stocks right now and investors may be better off staying on the sidelines, CNBC's Jim Cramer said.
"I'm searching for why the market isn't down more, because it just reads real bad," Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street" Monday. "I think you can sell in October and then buy at the bottom in November. Every one of these sell-offs have given you a better opportunity to buy."
(Related: On the brink: Senate to meet as shutdown looms)
"I just think for those that are trying to be prudent, taking cash off now - [and] betting a week from now that there will still be a lot of rancor - is a good bet, not a bad bet," he said. "This is one where all of us are way over our heads, including, unfortunately I think, [House Speaker John] Boehner and the President."
"Why today would you decide that is the day to buy? It's just not prudent. I don't see anything being done in the next 24 hours," he said. "There are a lot of people in this go-round who... are very detached from the real economy, who are trying to make a big point in Washington. The big point is that the government must be shut down."
(Related: Cramer: Despite Washington, this sector is a safe haven)
As the market sold off early in the trading day Monday, Cramer said "there will be an uglier moment than now, I believe."
However, he said that the silver lining for the market is that Europe and Asia are rebounding while stocks in the aerospace, biotech and industrial sectors are showing strong signs of upward momentum.
"This is very early in the decline of the market," Cramer said. "The thing that saves us, I think, is that the Fed didn't taper."
He added that many alternative investments, such as gold, don't look very good right now, and dividends are likely the place to go for investors looking for yield. Because of the weakness in stock alternatives, he said the market is not likely to go dramatically lower.
However, earlier, on "Squawk Box," Cramer said that "from a stock point of view, we're too high."
As Wall Street focuses on the budget debate in Washington, investors can make moves right now to protect their portfolios from any potential spending fallout, CNBC's Jim Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street" Thursday.
Some expectations surrounding a potential government shutdown "does take you breath away," Cramer said, because many believe that market momentum into year-end could be killed by a prolonged debate in Washington.
(Related: Brawl in US Congress—should the world care?)
Cramer noted that out of the 25 best-performing small-cap stocks this year, they are "almost entirely biotech."
The sector has a "double advantage" in this environment, he said, because the industry is not economically sensitive and there are numerous firms with promising drug pipelines.
Although some companies, such as Eli Lilly, have warned that key drugs have disappointed in clinical trials, many firms remain standouts with promising new drugs on the way.
Celldex Therapeutics, for example, is "just incredible," Cramer said. "You see these companies that are doing targeted work against cancer. They are the dominant companies in terms of who is responsible in this rally."
Other companies to watch are Celgene, Immunogen and Onyx Pharmaceuticals, which all have promising cancer products on the way, he said. "It is biotech. It's leading us. We don't talk enough about biotech ... if you think the economy is slowing, who has the greatest growth year over year? A company that discovers a new drug. A very exciting group."
Although the biotech sector may be sheltered from the federal debt debate, another group of stocks has disproportionate downside risk.
After car rental company Hertz cut full-year demand forecasts, Cramer pointed out that the travel sector in particular is vulnerable to budgetary problems in Washington. For instance, during the 2012 sequestration debate, many major airlines told investors to brace for weaker-than-expected numbers, and Cramer said that this could happen all over again.
The travel industry, "if you're worried, that's where your focus should be ... it's not essential that anyone travel in government, so they literally don't travel," he said.
The proposed merger between Applied Materials and rival chipmaker Tokyo Electron will not be allowed by U.S. regulators, CNBC's Jim Cramer said.
The two companies said they will merge in an all-stock deal, creating a $29 billion company, in what is considered a merger of equals. Although Tokyo Electron is considered by many to be one of the "most Westernized" of Japanese companies, a cross-border merger remains difficult to execute, even if it gets approval.
(Read more: Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron to merge)
"It's all about antitrust. This deal will not go through. It will absolutely not go through," Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street," listing a number of product overlaps between the two companies.
"This deal will be stopped. It is a [Applied Materials CEO] Gary Dickerson fantasy," Cramer said. "My charitable trust owns this stock. I've got to tell you, this deal will not get done."
Cramer said competitors like Intel, Samsung, Qualcomm, ARM Holdings and NVIDIA, will fight the deal in Washington because it has the potential to crunch their gross margins by bringing up costs. He also pointed out that Washington has been relatively unfriendly to larger mergers this year, challenging the US Airways-American Airlines deal this summer.
(Related: Cramer makes "buy" call on this automaker)
If the Applied Materials deal goes through, Cramer said, consumers will be hit with rising prices on products like big screen TVs, which regulators will want to avoid. However, if the deal is allowed to go through, it will be good news for Applied Materials shareholders, and Cramer said it will bring the stock price to $20, a nearly 15 percent premium from current levels.
"It would be a great deal for shareholders if it goes through, because they can raise prices," he said. "I think we have to watch this deal."

For the last two years, North Carolina trains have led the nation in both revenue and ridership growth. Nearly a million passengers go through the state each year, as well as millions of dollars in goods.
Amtrak and the North Carolina Department of Transportation run these trains along more than 3,000 miles of track across the state.
"We'd like to think of our stations as economic sparkplugs," said Allan Paul, who oversees the railways for the NCDOT. In addition to economic benefits for towns with stations, Paul said train travel has its advantages for passengers.
"First of all, it's relaxing," Paul said. "We like to think it's a lot less hassle."
And riders agree.
WNCN rode along on a day trip provided by the NCDOT from Raleigh to Charlotte and back. Along the way, passengers Mark Pinckney from Greensboro and Melissa Good from Durham agreed that the train provided a "stress-free" ride.
Paula Andrinopoulos, who was traveling from Raleigh to visit her parents, went further saying train travel is "less expensive than flying and a little bit more convenient."
But is travelling by train as safe as flying?
In recent years, security experts have warned that terrorists have shifted focus from the air to the ground. So far, attacks have been overseas; but last April, the FBI and Canadian authorities stopped a suspected terror plot targeting passenger trains heading to the United States.
Law enforcement sources also say authorities are now keeping a closer eye on a growing threat of rail sabotage across the country.
Since the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the hassle to get on a plane has grown, but the process to get on a train hasn't become quite as stringent.
"You don't have to go through metal detectors," said Graham resident Maiya Reaves, who was riding the train to Charlotte.
Dave Skergan, who was on a day trip to Charlotte from Raleigh, added, "Just walk on [and] grab a seat."
Passenger Will Newman, from High Point, said he even arrived at the station just 10 minutes before the train pulled away, and that he didn't have a problem boarding.
The state's rail safety consultant, Nelson High, is quick to point out that railways also present a unique security challenge.
"You cannot fence it," High said. "And you cannot provide the same security that other entities would do because you can't do that."
To ensure train safety, High said the NCDOT allows law enforcement as well as Rapid Response Teams from other security agencies to train on the equipment for possible attacks.
"They come in with their equipment and their expertise and know how to mitigate these incidents and bring them under control quickly," High explained.
And the NCDOT's Allan Paul said they take other precautions.
"There is a traveling metal detector. We do spot-checking," Paul said. "We also take drug-sniffing and bomb-sniffing dogs onboard the trains."
When asked if those measures were enough, Paul said, "Our record speaks from itself, and that's nationwide."
The numbers back Paul's claim up. In recent decades, one person in the entire United States has died from an extremist rail attack.
Paul said so far, North Carolina has been very fortunate. However, he added that all it would take is "one or two events that were significant" that might require additional security measures.
Most casualties involving trains in North Carolina actually come from people illegally crossing the tracks. You can learn more about the NCDOT's BeRailSafe program designed to fight this problem here.

I have been working at Foster Wheeler
Pros – Quality from experience from different crafts coming together to do a project is as smooth as butter.
productivity from comittment is a powerful goal for the hard workers on site.
The respect that people give to one another for safety for us and our families.
The kindness of each other to at least be a some what family through the others of the day we got to spend together.
Cons – dont really hav a down , only because i worked for other companies before and never really had such a respect for any company such as this one.
Advice to Senior Management – maybe, the lack of communication when one is tryin to tell the reasons of missing work or maybe late. Being a female, and a mother, my responsibilty as a parent is kids first... their education their health, ect. dnt shut us out cuz were trying to explain.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

If the basement has a seperate shut-off then I normally keep the ball valves at a 45 degree point when I complete my fall blow-jobs (1/2 way between open and closed). These can freeze and split if they're left fully open or fully closed because water is trapped behind the ball when it's fully open or fully closed.
Always turn ball valves open and closed very slowly. Turning fast will cause a water hammer and could cause damage to pipes, fittings, and devices.
Start by turning the water on inside your home and work out to the irrigation system. Open valves very slowly to let the pipes fill up with water. Normally I have one sprinkler (zone) valve open (manualy) at this point to relieve pressure and to vent air in the system. When each zone fills with water and is running for a few minutes I check the pattern and flow of each head. It's important to re-set the heads (if needed) at this point and make sure that they are verticle, clear of turf overgrowth, and set to the proper height.
Open the next zone valve manually, again slowly to fill the line with water and displace the air. Then close the previous zone valve. Continue checking and re-setting heads as needed, and follow the steps of open next valve before you close the previous valve. I do this to keep any water hammer pressure down to a minimum.
Get your backflow assembly tested.
If you do have a Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) type of backflow assembly, you will have to open the first shut-off very quickly to seat the head. This is the only time that you open ball valves quickly. When you do this mak sure that the second shut-off is still closed.
A PVB is the same type backflow assembly as in the previous thread asking about "water pours out from sprinkler turn on".
If I didn't answer your question because I went on about the wrong "screws", please let me know.

This is the latest in a long, long line of Ducati 750SS which date back to the early 1970s (think Paul Smart). The most recent version of the Ducati 750SS is not a bad all-round motorcycle, and the fuel injection's a marked improvement, but it's hard work and a lot of money for not, perhaps, quite enough reward. One for the fans?

State Patrol asks drivers to stay safe behind the wheel this holiday seasonFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- The State Patrol is asking you to stay safe behind the wheel.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- The State Patrol is asking you to stay safe behind the wheel.
Troopers are reminding drivers to keep a safe distance. If it's snowing, it's mandatory to have your headlights on.
And if a snowplow is up ahead be extra careful to let them do their job without getting too close. But most importantly Lieutenant Brian Cheney asks us to think before you head out the door.
Cheney says, "plan your trip ahead, let people know what time you're leaving and what time you expect to be there, incase you do have vehicle trouble. And to know your route incase they need to come looking for you or call law enforcement to check and see if something has happened."
If you plan on drinking, find a designated driver. There will be extra patrols thru New Years to crack down on drunk driving.

Kraft Singles
Do not be swayed by near future ad buys for Kraft Singles, for they are both tasteless and evil, and lower the standards for all things good about quality cheese.
Kraft is suffering from lagging growth as consumers switch to cheaper store brands, costlier gourmet-style products or more innovative offerings from competitors like ConAgra, Hormel and Procter & Gamble. To help reverse its falling fortunes, Irene B. Rosenfeld, the chief executive of Kraft Foods, is increasing the company's huge marketing budget — estimated at $1.4 billion a year — by $300 million to $400 million.
The primary goal of the spending increase is to persuade consumers that Kraft's venerable products can meet their changing needs. A case in point is Kraft Singles sliced cheese; Kraft will devote a campaign that begins today to the glorification of the grilled cheese sandwich.
The television, online, print and retail campaign carries the upbeat theme "Have a happy sandwich."
If you truly want a happy sandwich, buy real cheddar. You can thank me later.

Summary of Grace (Eventually) Summary of Grace (Eventually) Reviews for Grace (Eventually) An Excerpt from Grace (Eventually)
"Lamott has chronicled her wacky and (sometimes) wild adventures in faith in...the wonderful Grace (Eventually)." (Chicago Sun-Times)"Anne Lamott is...a swearing spiritual pundit who prays for redemption but brags about her offenses. Lamott's latest tell-all is Grace (Eventually): Thoughts of Faith, a searching memoir full of...offbeat spiritual humor. What makes Lamott's writing powerful isn't her unconventional faith. Rather, it's the profound message about God's grace and redemption often lurking underneath all the...brutal honesty."
In Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith, the author of the bestsellers Traveling Mercies and Plan B delivers a poignant, funny, and bittersweet primer of faith, as we come to discover what it means to be fully alive.
-Chicago Sun-Times
"Lamott's self-deprecating stories are refreshingly frank and endearingly fun."
-Washington Post

WhiteHouse.gov Releases Drupal Code
Open source code affects the project in terms of scalability, accessibility, communication.
As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to open source platforms in government, WhiteHouse.gov announced today that it would release custom code back into the Drupal community.
The code enhances the scalability, communication and accessibility of the Drupal project.
- Node Embed aids in adding metadata to rich photos and video content for screen reading software.
- GovDelivery enables more dynamic emails based on users' preferences.
- Context HTTP Headers allows the creation of additional metadata. WhiteHouse.gov uses this module to tell servers how often to cache a page.
- Akami allows the Drupal-based site to integrate with the content delivery system, appropriately name Akami.
In all, the gesture signifies the administration's participation in the open source model, but considering the U.S. government still lags behind other countries in open source adoption, it's a small step.

The Ravens defense was putrid today giving up nearly 500 yards to the Cowboys. Now it looks like they may have lost Ray Lewis and LaDarius Webb for the year.
The Ravens defense was putrid today giving up nearly 500 yards to the Cowboys. Now it looks like they may have lost Ray Lewis and LaDarius Webb for the year.
Any help is needed , but the Steelers are still terrible so in the end it wont matter.
Ngata was hurt too, hurt knee, probably not a severe, but might limit him.
The Steeler offense isn't hanging 500 yards on the Ravens defense. The Ravens still win the game in Baltimore and the one in Pittsburgh will probably go their way as well late in the game. The Steelers will compete at home, but in the ends they will fall short of beating the Ravens.

"Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it." -- Chuck Noll
Today is what is known as a Pyrrhic victory for the Ravens.
Pittsburgh, PA: City of Champions.
Ah, come on guys.... The season is young.. Enough of this 'sky is falling' crap... Look around the league today... It's putrid everywhere... A very average league right now....Hell, the Dolphins are 3-3! And the Browns won? What gives?
6- Time Super Bowl Champions......
2012 MNF Executive Champion
Cinci went down, the Jets won, the Ravens should have lost and got injured, the Pats* lost, the 9ers lost, the Chargers are on a 2 game losing streak, 7 games came down to either overtime or the last minute. It's the parity of the new NBA, last team with the ball wins. We won't be out until we are mathmatically eliminated. We can still beat anyone in this league on any given Sunday, and we can lose to anyone in the same regard. There is no dominant team. If we make the playoffs we can win it all, or we could miss the playoffs.
I'm seeing our offense finally look like a force, and even though our defense has looked soft, we are still injured with some of our starters playing half speed or not playing at all. If we don't get mathmatically eliminated too early we will make a run this year, but it will probably be slow going for the next 3-4 weeks.
Season isn't over. I see sparks of things that make me think...if we can get our stuff together we can make a run. Personally, I like our O....especially with a healthy OL. On D...we have some young talent. McC...needs to start. Heyward needs to start. I would get Allen more PT, and tell Ike his starting job is up for grabs.

Dr. Smak's Bucket List
I'm not getting any younger. Mortality dances in front of me on a routine basis, whether at home or at work. While I'd love to plan on doing fun and fabulous things in my retirement, I don't want to live waiting for that grand event. There sure aren't any guarantees I'm going to get there. So, without further ado, my bucket list. (I'm adding it as as new sidebar, and will add to it periodically as things come up. I'm deleting my nightstand, since knitting continues to gobble up the scarce free time I have. I'll read a book again in a few years.)
1. See the aurora borealis. Or, as a dear relative once coined, the areola borealis. In her defense, it was after a glass of wine.
2. Take a super fabulous grown-up vacation with Mr. Smak. We started marriage penniless, and pretty quickly started making Smaklings, so this one has eluded me thus far. I'm talking 2 weeks, no responsibilities, food, drinks, travel, sightseeing, foreign countries. Right now I'm thinking Mediterranean, but the details are unimportant and subject to change. (Fodder for another post, but after you have kids do you ever really have no responsibilities? Did we miss our chance?)
3. Become a certified Master Gardener.
4. Learn to speak another language. Not great, but at least passable.
5. Drive across this big and beautiful country in an RV with Mr. and Smaklings. I'm hoping to hit the right age, where everyone is in the range of pretty self-sufficient but before teenage attitude kicks in. I think this is the one that has the real time constraints on it. I've never seen the Grand Canyon, and I'd love to do it with my kids.
6. Learn to make a kick-ass pie crust. "Kick-ass" is per my own standards. If I never ate another piece of cake in my life I'd be fine, but a crisp, flaky, buttery pie crust is about as good as it gets.
In general, I don't make pies, as the crusts aren't up to my standards. But the whole point of a bucket list is that there is no time like the present to start, so tonight middle Smakling and I practiced on some apple dumplings. They look prettier in real life than the photo. I can't wait to taste them tonite!

Love the idea of putting this on your blog...I may just steal it if you don't mind.... And I share your dream of wanting to do the Grand Canyon in an RV with the family...not sure when we'll all have time though...
- September 21, 2008 at 6:45 PM
Just go on and do it. My kids are grown but they keep moving and having babies and needing us (in different ways, of course) so it doesn't stop when they get grown.

Good luck with your list. Would love to taste the apple dumplings with a little vanilla ice cream.

Replace half the ice water with freezer-cold vodka in your next crust batch. I'm astonished how tender and flaky this makes pie crust. Also, try one of the cultured butters like Plugra - the lower pH and higher fat content seem to improve pastry doughs.
I agree about vacations, btw. I realized it's been 17 years since my parents and I had an actual non-work-related family vacation together, and now mom's too frail to do another, despite not being old enough for Medicare. I know it's cliche, but seriously, this is not something to neglect. Marshall whatever resources it takes to make both a Romantic Vacation and a Family Adventure happen.
That said, if you do the RV thing, get the biggest one you can - the 30 foot rental RVs from like El Monte or Cruise America aren't nearly large enough for two adults with stuff, let alone a family. You want about a 36' with multiple slides - everything else is bad comedy. I speak with the voice of experience here. Larger/nicer models are harder to find than the national chains but well, well, well worth the money.

Eric, I can't tell if you're joking or not about the Vodka.
Really? Vodka in a pie crust? Better than using ice water?
- September 22, 2008 at 5:59 AM
If Eric is serious, I'll try the VODKA.
Great blog - lots of fun and adventure.
Let us know your plans.

Also, check out Shua's blog for great pie crust recipes and advice -
Nice looking dumplings, BTW.

- Dr. Smak said...
Thanks to all for your encouragements and suggestions. TBTAM, I was totally fishing for a recipe from you - thanks!
As a post followup, the dumplings were excellent, tho a little too sweet for my taste. They were doused in a cinnamon syrup, so I wasn't able to really judge the crust. Will have to try again.

I am as serious as emphysematous pyelonephritis!
Essentially, the alcohol moistens, but doesn't contribute to the sulfur crosslinking of glutenin and gliadin that occurs when you add water and mix. By replacing 20% of the total liquid volume with ethanol (40% ethanol in vodka * 50% of the liquid volume as vodka) you get all the moistening but with 20% lower gluten formation.
You don't even have to use the good stuff. If your pie crust production is such that shaving a few cents off the vodka budget matters, you can use cheap stuff. I personally follow the advice of the NY Times on vodka, and use my regular brand.
I'd suggest having some for yourself before you roll out the crust, but the vasodilation would result in warmer hands, which would melt the fat, and that's a problem too.
I can't believe my reputation for snark is such that friendly advice gets mistaken for deadpan schtick. Where did I go so wrong?

- September 23, 2008 at 11:49 AM
wow, so much info about pie crusts....hope the next one you make Dr Smak is up to your standards.
When the plans come together for your vacation with Mr. Smak, let me know what I can do to help---guess going to the eastern shore doesn't count as a romantic get away with the hubby.

I like your list.
Learning another language can be easier than it might appear at first. I've done it, at least well enough to talk to my visitor from Brazil and have her understand my portuguese.
go here http://www.pimsleurapproach.com/
and choose your language
then go to the barnes and noble web site and purchase the pimsleur cd set for your language.
I stick the cd into my car player during any trip approaching a half hour.
I was impressed enough with the results in Portuguese to purchase the cds for Mandarin also. I haven't learned all I want there, yet, and it is very slow for me because the tone variations take a good bit of getting used to.
We went to dinner the house of husband's friend from work. He and his wife come from China. She was impressed that I could speak clearly enough for her to understand what I meant.

Use the search form to locate a petsitter by zip code or city and state.
Whether your dog needs a dog walker or dog runner to exercise him while you're at work, a dog daycare where he can romp with other canines, or a pet sitter to make sure your cat's needs are met while you're out of town, the PetsitUSA pet care directory can help! Our directory of professional pet sitters, dog walkers, dog runners, and dog daycares is at your fingertips.
Unlike traditional kennels, pet sitters and dog walkers, and dog runners are able to visit your pets in your home, maintaining their routine as much as possible. Hiring a professional to care for your pets gives you peace of mind knowing your best friends are in competent, loving hands.

Dog daycares are also available to care for your dogs during the day when you simply can't get away from your busy day to go home and visit with them. It's an excellent choice for dogs who get bored and chew or destroy possessions when left alone, dogs in need of socialization, and young dogs who have more energy than they know what to do with!
If you've never used the services of a petsitter, dog walker, dog runner, or dog daycare, be sure to check out our FAQ section where you'll find a lot of helpful information.

We are concerned about the Burlington Performing Arts Centre's (BPAC) ask of close to $1 million in operating funds for 2013, in light of how much the facility's 2012 revenue projections missed the mark.
The still relatively new venue (opened in the fall of 2011) is requesting 2013 base funding of $637,310, an additional $225,250 to offset a past revenue shortfall, plus $131,700 to hire a full-time technician and a full-time sales associate — bringing the total request from City Hall up to $994,260.
That's a 59 per cent increase over the $624,814 given to operate BPAC last year. The city provided the performing arts centre with $743,500 in 2011.
Perhaps more disturbing than the skyrocketing cost of operating BPAC is how far off revenue estimates have been.
According to budget documents provided to the city, 2012 projections for rentals of the theatre space were overestimated by $227,000, while ticket sales to the venue's professional series were $75,000 lower than anticipated.
Already looking at a local tax increase of between 4-6.5 per cent — even larger increases are forecast on the horizon due to Burlington's slowing population growth — it's hard to imagine the city being able to provide funding increases to the performing arts centre forever.
There is no question that a performing arts centre is an essential contributor to improving cultural opportunities in our city.
What we are starting to question though is whether the cultural value it brings is justified at any price.
While Executive Director Brenda Heatherington and Mayor Rick Goldring remain optimistic the centre needs a little more time to tap into exactly the right mix of entertainment residents are looking for, we wonder why this kind of vital market research didn't take place long before BPAC opened.
The fact that the most vocal opponents of the performing arts centre had predicted precisely the kind of annual financial burden on the city that we are now seeing doesn't help matters.
Back then these naysayers were easily dismissed as simply being anti-culture. However, today, their forecasts have turned out to be far more accurate than those in charge of operating BPAC.
And that's just scary.

hey all,
i just used WinPwn 2.5 to jailbreak & unlock my 1st gen 8 gb iPhone running 2.0.2 firmware. i ran WinPwn on expert mode, set root partition size to 700 (since running on basic mode kept unexpectedly quitting before completing hashing the custom IPSW).
everything works perfectly now.....except my memory capacity is down to only 6.88 gb!! what happened?!? when i first used WinPwn, i used basic mode and actually chose NOT to unlock it, and the final capacity was 7.08 gb. i'm guessing basic mode automatically sets root partition at 500.
what are some of your actual capacities after jailbreaking/unlocking? is there any way for me to have my phone unlocked and still have at least 7.08 gb remaining capacity?
any advice is appreciated, thanks a lot.

American Senior Benefits Association
New Lifestyle Management Programs Lead ASBA Members Toward Healthier Living
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Chicago, IL - June 13, 2012 - Recognizing the fact that much of the mature population is now burdened by greater stress than ever before, the American Senior Benefits Association (ASBA), today unveiled a new suite of online programs designed to help its members deal with the underlying causes of emotional dependency.
Through SelfHelpWorks, Inc., ASBA now offers members a series of lifestyle management programs focusing on weight loss, smoking cessation, alcohol and stress management. While many existing programs are dedicated to curbing these behaviors, few take the extra step of identifying and treating the root psychological and emotional causes of the recurring unhealthy behaviors. The SelfHelpWorks programs drill down to the origin of the problem so that the underlying reasons for dependency can be identified and acknowledged, and lasting change can develop.
The four programs - Livinglean™, Livingfree™, Livingeasy™ and Livingsmart™ - focus on nutrition and lifestyle management, smoking cessation, stress and resiliency, and managing alcohol consumption, respectively.
Through ASBA's partnership with SelfHelpWorks, Inc., ASBA members can take advantage of these online health coaching programs at a special member price of 40% off the retail cost, or just $14.97 per month.
"Much of the time and attention of the over-50 population is taken up these days by caring for children or elderly parents, working longer and harder than planned just to make ends meet, or one of a million other stress-filled activities", said Bill Hill, Sr., ASBA President and Chairman of the Board. "There is so little time for people in this particular demographic to look inward that they often end up neglecting their own needs and not living as healthfully as they should. With these new online coaching programs, we hope to help steer them in a direction that will ultimately lead them to healthier, happier lives."
For more information on SelfHelpWorks online health coaching programs, visit the American Senior Benefits Association website at www.asbaonline.org/member/selfHelpWorks.php.
The American Senior Benefits Association (ASBA) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit association where membership is completely free.

Water levels have dropped in local sloughs making trapping difficultDowner, MN (WDAY TV) -- Drive by any slough or small lake and you quickly realize how quickly water levels have dropped. And it is having an impact on those who trap during the winter.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
Downer, MN (WDAY TV) -- Drive by any slough or small lake and you quickly realize how quickly water levels have dropped. And it is having an impact on those who trap during the winter.
But the big picture may be more of a concern. Our drought is affecting our wildlife in this region, a reflection, some say, of climate change.
Dusty Hough buys muskrats and beaver for a living. But the fur trader is experiencing a winter he and trappers would rather just forget.
Dusty Hough/Hough's Fur Shed: "70 to 80 percent down from last year, a lot of people were counting on them because of the high prices. The prices are up, but production is down 70 to 80 percent."
Our sloughs, especially those in west central Minnesota, are drying up. That means for trappers like Ryan Beattie of rural Barnesville, who also has a degree in wildlife management, muskrat trapping is down, significantly from last year.
Ryan Beattie/Trapper: "Last year all around there were muskrats huts everywhere and there this year there is nothing there just burning a lot of gas driving around trying to find muskrats, beavers and everything else."
Meantime the Minnesota DNR is coming up with an action plan to deal with climate change. Change that affects everything from frogs to trees in the state.
And Hough says it has meant fewer workers and trappers in his shop this winter, the animals are just not out there, a response to our changing climate and weather.
Hough: "Something going on in mother nature, we have seen in with coyotes and red fox the more you take the healthier the population is."
At ten tonight, hear from Otter Tail County trapper Jim Kath, who tells us he worked just as hard this winter to trap muskrats, but his numbers have been cut more than half.

By Alan Fairweather
Do you want a highly motivated team who are engaged and happy at work, and who make a positive contribution to your business?
The question, I'm most often asked by managers, is – 'How do I motivate my team?' They want some instant fix, a magic bullet that improves team motivation overnight. But as we all know, life isn't like that.
I understand and appreciate why this question is being asked, I was a manager for sixteen years, and I understand the challenges managers face every day with their people. The answer I give is – 'You don't motivate your team, you create the environment where they motivate themselves.'
Effective motivation is intrinsic, it has to come from within. There is no instant fix; it's an ongoing day to day process of small actions that build a highly motivated team. It's like pushing a heavy boulder, you need some initial effort to get the process going, but once you've done that, it takes a lot less effort to keep it moving.
Talk with them and find out how they're doing on a personal level, and a business level. Give them feedback; tell them when they do something well and tell them when not so well.
Turn away from the computer, and switch off the phone. Keep good eye contact, use open body language, and make noises that indicate that you're listening. Emphasise with their personal problems and provide solutions to business problems, wherever possible.
Remember that coaching is a two-way process with your team member; helping them to find solutions to job related or personal problems
Vary the jobs they do, give them some of your tasks, and give them more responsibility. Ask them to train or mentor another member of the team.
Give the occasional reward for no particular reason. Some time off work, a personal thank you letter, cakes or sweets, flowers on a birthday or a bottle of wine. Suggest a team member takes their partner out for a meal and charge it to expenses.
Let them know what's happening in the company; how the business is doing, provide relevant information on new products or services.
Show them what you need them to do, and let them get on with it. Take risks; don't keep 'supervising'. Set up parameters that allow them to make decisions. If they keep coming to you with questions, don't provide an answer, ask them what they would do and support their response.
Your team members want to know that you care about them, that you're interested in them from a personal, and business point of view. They want to believe that you trust them, and want them to succeed. If you can create that environment; then you will have a happy and motivated team!

Unstoppable Gorg
Customer notes
"Unstoppable Gorg is a challenging, loveable, and interesting take on the tower-defense formula." - Destructoid.com
"This endearing tribute to the future of the past is a rewarding game that challenges your wits and your reflexes." - Gamespot.com
Get ready to experience a revolution in tower defense that will send you spinning. Unstoppable Gorg challenges you to defend the solar system from fearsome aliens by sending satellites into orbit. Unlike other tower defense games, in Unstoppable Gorg you can move your towers by rotating the orbits that surround planets, moons and space stations.
Unstoppable Gorg is a lovingly crafted homage to vintage sci-fi films from the 1950s. Flying saucers, rubbery aliens, dodgy effects, it's got it all. The game's story scenes were shot on film using models, miniatures and live action actors and then edited together with genuine archive footage to create a classic sci-fi experience that is out of this world.
Take on the Gorg in more than 40 challenging levels of revolutionary tower defense action.
Satellites in orbit replace the towers and grid layout used in other tower defense games.
Move your satellites around their orbits to create the best defense for each wave.
Experience a thrilling story inspired by the classic sci-fi films of the 1950s.
Glorious 3D graphics and effects for added impact.

Tower Defense with a twistAkiMatti | Oct. 9, 2013 | See all AkiMatti's reviews »
If you are in any way familiar with tower defense games, you'd know that the basic principle in them is to prevent invading forces from reaching their target by building new and more powerful defense towers. Usually, these towers will stay in place. Here comes the twist of Unstoppable Gorg (UG): the towers are movable, albeit in a circle.
See, in UG you place the "towers" in orbits around the target the attacker is trying to reach. Once the towers are placed in orbits, they can be moved by dragging the whole orbit around. So you don't only think the placement of those towers once but you can and must change their places many times during the levels.
This new mechanic is pretty fast to adopt but it also brings a whole new level of gaming to the tower defense games. If anything, it removes a lot of the waiting that is usually a trope of this genre, since you'll most of the time have lots to do because the enemy will also change their path so you need to react to that.
In addition to that new mechanic, UG is made tongue in cheek by making top notch '50s references throughout the game. It brought at least a smile to my face, but to each their own.
Very enjoyable addition to the genre, all in all.
A decent, somewhat unoriginal game.BubbaSquare | Oct. 1, 2013 | See all BubbaSquare's reviews »
It's quite clear that Indie dev's don't have enough money to start going on large-scale, amazing games, so it is quite understandable that they would go to the lengths of choosing perhaps easier games of particular genres that would take a lighter toll on their wallets. Tower defense games are one of these cheaper routes. With the overflow of TD games on iOS and Android (due to the damn huge successes of Plants vs. Zombies and Kingdom Rush), Unstoppable Gorge is, in my eyes, just another tower defense game. Sure, the circular-defending gameplay is interesting, but I found myself having a boring time with this game. The game design is somewhat tacky, and the controls are extremely uncomfortable. Go for it if you're actually a fan of TD games that are overflowing the indie scene, it might be different enough for you.
Nice gameAlfa8789 | Aug. 23, 2013 | See all Alfa8789's reviews »
Unstoppable Gorg is a good game. It kept the old fashioned tower defense action and excitement while delivering a fresh breath of air to the genre. The music was pretty, even though it got repetitive after a while. The only problem is that, depending on how you play, some of the towers were kind of superfluous.
The 50's go Tower Defensebibora | Aug. 22, 2013 | See all bibora's reviews »
Tower defense meets sci-fi films of the 50s. Yep this feature could resume the game. It doesn't make it bad though. Unstoppable Gorge is a fun Tower Defense game, where we are put to fighting endless waves of UFO with a big array of weapons. There are lots of unlock stuff to get, challenges to go through and a funny story to watch.
If you like Tower Defense games, I think you wouldn't go wrong trying this title.
Planet X and the Flying Saucers!Guardian412 | Aug. 18, 2013 | See all Guardian412's reviews »
I love tower defense games and I love the atmosphere of the 1940-50s sci-fis and Unstoppable Gorg is offering both at once. The game is very simple, your defense system has to protect your starship or planet and defeat the waves of incoming UFOs and other aliens. It can be a very-very challenging at times, - even if you've played with various tower defense games before -, but victory is never impossible. The great and polished gameplay, the charming visuals, the various difficulty levels and the loveable, so old school, funny retro cutscenes are making the Unstoppable Gorg to one of the best, but foremost one of the most memorable tower defense games. Ed Wood would have been really proud for the storywriters. :)

Face it, being a better photographer means being a more diverse and well-rounded photographer. You knew that, though didn't you. That's one of the reasons you come here, right? You're always seeking to improve your craft, learn new tips, techniques and methods, and expand the boundaries of what you're ultimately capable and comfortable shooting.
As someone who used to shoot only adventure and extreme sport-type subjects and who seriously shied away from inside photography jobs, I've certainly diversified my style of photography. Not only has this allowed me to get a wider variety of assignment work and increased income from stock, it's also contributed to my own personal fulfillment in photography.
Whereas I rarely used to shoot people, except in the context of the sport in which they were currently engaged, now I find myself quite driven by the challenge of shooting environmental and location portraits and focusing on lighting, framing, and expression instead of just action.
To develop this part of my craft, I've used the regular learning methods that most of us tend to use: books, instructional videos, workshops, etc… However, I've also turned to methods that I wouldn't have previously thought of. Sometimes I get books to review, and they're not always titles that I think are relevant to my style of photography. That said, after taking a look at some of them, namely Light and Shoot: 50 Fashion Photos by Chris Gatcum, it occurred to me that there is something to learn from just about every resource, even if you don't think there is.
For the record, I'm not a fashion shooter. Never will be. That said, fashion shooters use some of the most creative and experimental lighting techniques and styles known to man and I realized that I might be able to learn a few things from this book that I might not have thought of. In fact, I took it with me on the plane while traveling to a recent location assignment where I knew I'd be shooting people, just to browse through and get ideas.
I can't say that I used any of the exact techniques that were in the book, but by exploring and expanding my scope of learning material, I know that I'll slowly push my creative boundaries over time. Try it. Get some books you wouldn't normally get and see what you can learn from them. I promise, you'll learning something and at least find some new creative inspiration. And remember, you can always write them off.
Happy (diverse) learning.

My best friend is in the middle of a divorce. Pretty much at the tail-end. She reads here and is my very closest friend.
Marriage can work when you find your soul mate.
I used to like Sundays. I don't anymore. I would rather have an open house to do or any work than none. I volunteer to do Sundays and have become very popular with co workers. It wasn't always like this.
It used to be I loved Sundays and couldn't wait until, that day came. I called it, Delicious Coffee Day.
See, I never learned to make a good coffee, infact, it was quite undrinkable. On Sundays I would wake up and knew my husband was in the basement. Smoking that cigerette. lol. I would open the kitchen door leading to the basement and he would say, " Mommmy Too, you want to go get a delicious coffee?" And, I would scamper getting a slice of bread to go.
There, we would jump into my car, which he called Flash, ( it was red and went fast) and we would head down to McDonalds. There we would sip our delicious coffees and that slice of bread? Was to feed the birds. We named pretty much most of them. One was Walking Crow. He would sit ontop the pole and wait his turn letting the little sputzies eat first. Then, he would fly down and walk over to the car for his.
After feeding the Sunday birds we would head home to our little table in the basement where we would finish our coffees and with the little black & white Tv on, I would read him the local rag the local Sunday news.
He would pat his knee saying, " mommmy too, come sit with me." There I would sit on his lap, wrap my arms around his neck and kiss his face. We did this for 24 years years.
It is Sunday and I wish my buddy was here. You see, our anniversary is coming up, we would had been married now, 31 years. He might have traded me in.
Marriage can work folks, when you find your soul mate.
